The self-aligning attachment system for 2-implant-retained mandibular overdentures is equal or superior to traditional ball attachments in all domains of the OHIP-14. Among subjects with below-average attachment space, functional limitation, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, and total OHIP-14, scores were significantly better for the self-aligning attachment system (P =. Scores on the OHIP-14 physical disability domain were significantly better for the self-aligning attachment system (P =. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare differences between groups. A subanalysis among subjects with below-average space available for attachment placement was also performed. He was a member of the Tasmanian Greens, the state chapter of the Australian Greens.34 Ball also. Ball served as the Deputy Mayor of Launceston, Tasmanias second largest city, from 2011 until his death in 2014 due to a car accident. The OHRQL was evaluated for both of the treatments using the short form of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). Jeremy Dacre Ball12 (1968 15 September 2014) was an Australian politician, actor and activist. After 3 months, all subjects were switched to the second attachment type. In this randomized, within-subject crossover trial, 25 edentulous subjects each received 2 mandibular implants, and were then assigned to receive either self-aligning or traditional ball attachments.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the self-aligning overdenture attachment system by comparing its oral health-related quality of life (OHRQL) with a traditionally used ball attachment system.
